readx; Sergeant Li was a little old, looking to be in his thirties, and he said, "We have to wait a little longer, the company commander hasn't come back yet!" Besides, Shanzi, what are you anxious about, are you still afraid that there will be no war! ”

The first-class soldier Shanzi smiled: "But isn't it, I heard before, a guy in the second company has fished a bronze double sword medal, tsk, single-handedly killed and said, "I have three tanks and four cars, I don't know what he ate and grew up, is it possible that he has three more heads and six arms than others!" ”

Listening to Shanzi say this, Sergeant Li also showed an envious look, you must know that he has been in the army for more than ten years, he has been driving tanks for so many years, and he has also fought in the Southeast Asian War in the past few years, but he has never destroyed the enemy's tanks, so that he often scolds in his heart how weak those Thais at the beginning are, and there are not even a few tanks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, remembering that the Thais did not have any tanks, he also remembered that he didn't seem to have many tanks, although he didn't know the information that was too secret, but he still knew some news about the road, and he said, "Although I also have tanks, but there are not many, and the total number of tanks is not even a fraction of that of other participating countries, and even Sergeant Lee is suspicious, saying, 'My tanks can't even compare to one of my own group armies, you must know that the First Army has thousands of tanks, although it is impossible to say that all of them are crowded into Singapore to participate in the war. However, the tank battalions of these divisions alone add up to several hundred, and the number of tanks in Singapore is probably less than a hundred.

This is obviously a monk with more meat and less meat, and he has no choice but to beat him if he is beaten by others!

After the war ended, he retired and went home, and the kid at home asked his father how many tanks were fought in the war, could it be that he had to tell him that he couldn't do it?

Sergeant Lee was a little depressed when he thought of this!

But just as he was thinking about something, Shanzi said, "Look, the company commander is back!" ”

Sergeant Li turned his head to look at it, and also nodded: "It seems that the order has finally come down!" ”

Sure enough, after a short time, Sergeant Li was called over, and there were only 17 tanks in this tank company, so when the commander of the tank company was deploying tactics, he would often directly call all the tank commanders over, and then hold a centralized meeting, and Sergeant Li was also called over for a meeting as the commander.

"The task given to us by the battalion headquarters is to support the 431 regiment in the operation, and now the 431 regiment is on our left flank, where their 4312 battalion attack is blocked, according to the intelligence obtained from the aerial reconnaissance, although the strength of the army over there is not much, but there are many artillery and machine gun positions deployed, which belong to the fortress position, and it is extremely difficult for the infantry to attack alone, and after the artillery of the divisional artillery regiment carried out intensive artillery bombardment in this area, the army in the area was still not heavily damaged, and the counterattack fire was very fierce!"

"And our task is to support the 4312 battalion to break through the fortress position of the army in front of us and tear a gap for the infantry!" The tank company commander did not talk too much nonsense, but quickly conveyed the order and let the individual go to prepare.

It didn't take long for the tanks of this tank company to be activated one after another, and Sergeant Lee leaned out of the tank to observe the terrain and the positions of the friendly tanks around him, while the driver below performed the relevant maneuvers. When there is no combat mission, especially in the current situation of starting formation, he does not want to sit in the car and rely on periscopes and narrow window sight to command, and if he does not do it well, he will collide with friendly tanks, which is not a fun thing.

Soon, the tanks of this tank company were on the road one after another, and then drove south with a faint white smoke, in the south was a war zone where the rumbling sound of artillery was heard, and at this time the artillery regiments in the rear were firing in the direction of Singapore with 155 mm and 105 mm guns, and the heavy shelling almost reduced the positions of the Japanese army in Singapore to ruins.

The 12th Army had a lot of artillery, with three divisional artillery regiments and one reading artillery regiment. The divisional artillery regiment had thirty-six 105-mm howitzers and twelve 155-mm howitzers. The Reading Artillery Regiment has 24 155mm howitzers and 12 155mm cannons.

Long-range support artillery alone is more than 100 105-mm howitzers and 70 155-caliber guns, and in addition to divisional and corps artillery, there are also 75-mm light howitzers and a large number of mortars in regimental units.

It can be said that in terms of firepower density and power, it is said to the face: "This army, in fact, the only person on this earth who can compete with the Chinese army in terms of the number and power of artillery is the US Army, and the other Soviet Russia and Germany cannot compare."

Because China is a mainland country, even though it has spent a lot of military expenditure to expand its air force and navy, the army is still the pillar and foundation of China's founding in the past few decades, which can be seen from the fact that the army accounts for more than half of China's active generals. From the installation of 105mm howitzers to the allocation of 155mm howitzers to divisional artillery regiments, it can be seen that the Chinese Army has been continuously strengthening its artillery strength.

In order to strengthen its artillery strength, the army even planned to change the establishment of 12 artillery pieces in one battalion to 18 guns, and the reason for this plan is that since the great expansion of the army in the late thirties ended after the end of the Russian War, the division-level unit numbers of the Chinese Army still maintain the same 118 divisions as the 99th Infantry Division, one Guard Division, 15 Armored Divisions, and three Cavalry Divisions during the Russian War. After so many years of successive rearmament, basically these troops have used the full standard equipment, but the Chinese army has not stopped purchasing weapons, many artillery and tanks are still being produced one after another, in order to solve the placement of these equipment, the army was forced to set up a large number of reading troops, that is, reading tank battalions, reading artillery regiments and other troops, and the number of these reading troops is also troublesome to use, so the army simply wants to expand the establishment of divisional artillery regiments and strengthen the strength of divisional artillery.

After all, the Chinese Army is taking the road of superior firepower, not that the infantry division only has so pitiful dozen guns like Soviet Russia, but it concentrates a large number of artillery pieces as an artillery division or even an artillery corps to strengthen the artillery strength of a certain front. It is not to say who is good and who is bad, but it is a traditional issue, the Chinese army is more inclined to allocate a large number of artillery to various infantry divisions, and it is to use a division as a strategic-level unit.

Because don't look at China's more than 100 divisions, but China needs to control so many areas, Central Asia needs garrisons, Siberia needs garrisons, and then Korea and Northeast China also have to garrison troops, and South China coast also has to garrison troops, plus Taiwan, the newly occupied Russian region, Southeast Asia and other regions, after these more than 100 divisions are divided, in fact, there are not a few divisions on a specific front.

Now there are only three divisions attacking Singapore!

But then again, combat effectiveness is sometimes not calculated in this way, because among China's 10 million army forces, the actual front-line field strength is not much, and the total number of these 118 divisions is only more than 1.8 million.

Since there is only such a small number of front-line field troops, what about the tens of millions of army personnel used there? The answer is that a considerable number of people are in the logistics system, and some are recruits in the boot camps, because now soldiers only need to serve for three years, and they will be discharged after three years, which means that to maintain the existing part, a large number of recruits must be kept in training to replace the gaps in those retired soldiers at any time, but there are still a considerable number of local garrisons, including domestic garrisons, garrisons in newly occupied areas, etc., and then there are a large number of civilian employees.

Of these 10 million people, the vast majority of them stay in the rear, and there are actually only more than 2 million people who can really go to the front line to fight, of course, other countries are similar, don't look at the countries are all claiming to be tens of millions of armies and the like, but there are far less front-line combat soldiers.

It is precisely because of the small number of front-line troops that the transfer of basically no division will have a great impact, so the army is extremely keen to strengthen the firepower of the front-line troops, especially artillery.

The 4312 battalion, which had been attacking for a long time, fought for a long time and could not overcome it, although the top chased it quickly, but the infantry masters, who had long been accustomed to calling for all kinds of support, did not give full play to the spirit of hard fighting in the civil war and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but immediately called for artillery and air support after the attack was blocked.

Even with the support of the division's artillery, more than a dozen planes came to drop bombs temporarily, but they could not weaken the counterattack firepower of the troops in front of them, so they directly asked their superiors for tank support.

When Sergeant Li's tank company arrived at the 4312 battalion, he was a little puzzled when he thought that the battle was fierce in this place, the infantry were hiding in the fortifications, and he saw the hard-pressed artillery constantly moving shells and then firing the artillery, but he didn't see the infantry attacking for a long time, Sergeant Li also saw several infantry gathering together to smoke, and the artillery shells of the army fell more than ten meters away, and the shocked people shook their bodies but didn't see them move their bodies, and continued to bite the cigarette butts and shake their heads!

"These infantrymen really think they are uncles, and they are not afraid of smoking and choking themselves with shells flying around!" Sergeant Li muttered in his heart: "No wonder you have to call your own people to come over to help, just like this infantry uncle, it's strange that you can fight over!" ”

Sergeant Li muttered in his heart, but he was not surprised, the infantry had become more and more lazy in the past few years, and every infantry officer held the phone and shouted when he encountered the enemy: "Request for support!" Request support! ”

Then those hard-pressed artillerymen kept carrying shells and were tired and half-dead to provide support for them, and those tankers also had to sit in tanks that could stew people and rush to provide support for the infantry units, the most bitter thing was the pilots of the air force, as soon as they asked for support, they immediately flew the plane to the enemy's position to strafe and drop bombs or something, but at this time, those infantry were very likely not to fight with the enemy, and they watched the flames of the explosion of the enemy's position.

At this time, the small tank company had arrived, and the company commander of the tank company had already gone to the battalion headquarters to negotiate the specific tactics of coordinated operations.

This weather, especially in the tropics, the high temperature in the tank can make people stuffy, and this opportunity to come out cool and cool is naturally popular with everyone.

As soon as Sergeant Li got out of the car, an infantry sergeant came over next to him, and the infantry sergeant's white and pure appearance came over and said to Sergeant Li: "You guys are coming fast enough."

Sergeant Li secretly said in his heart: What the boss said is so urgent, can we not be happy!

But he didn't say that, but said with a smile: "The road is not far, it's coming quickly, how did you fight just now?" ”

The sergeant said: "Don't mention it, the one on the other side said, 'I don't know what medicine I took, I won't die in a fight, just now there are more than a dozen brothers in our company who were martyred!'" ”

When Sergeant Li heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart: I didn't see it, this seems to be calm, but it was so badly beaten. There are more than 100 people in a company, and if there are more than 10 martyrs, the death rate is 1/10!

At that moment, he put away the contempt in his heart just now, and said: "The brothers have worked hard, but now that we are here, we will wait and say, 'I also eat guns!'" ”

However, the sergeant looked young and white, but he spoke with a boldness: "We don't suffer any losses, at least kill more than 20 soldiers, Lao Tzu will put two in a few consecutive shots!" ”

When Sergeant Li and the sergeant in front of him were casually talking, in the temporary headquarters of the 4312 battalion, several officers were also talking in a low voice about the current battle situation.
